Those who came out of the Gate of Eternal Life were all super powerhouses. For example, the "Immemorial Ancestral Dragon" was also an egg spewed out from the Gate of Eternal Life, which eventually incubated into an Ancestral Dragon, created the dragon race, and became an Immortal King Supreme existence, possessing formidable power; many Immortal Kings at the same boundary were no match for the Immemorial Ancestral Dragon.
Rumors say the Good Fortune Immortal King, the Origin Immortal King, the Truth Immortal King… these experts were also inextricably linked to the Gate of Eternal Life.
And now, Fang Han finally heard about his past life; he was actually brought out by Fang Qingxue from the Gate of Eternal Life. Regrettably, exactly what his original form was, Fang Qingxue's memory hadn't recovered yet, or it was already lost, and he completely couldn't remember it himself.
And Fang Han could not deduce his past life either.
All this was a riddle.
But looking at it now, Fang Han knew his identity was certainly no small matter; it must be much stronger than the Three Lives Stone. It was just a pity that all this potential seemed unexploited up to now.
"Qingxue, can you approach the Gate of Eternal Life now? If I saw the true Gate of Eternal Life, perhaps I could recall it all together, push my magic power calculations to the ultimate extreme, and even elevate my own cultivation to an inconceivable realm, far surpassing the Lord of Qiankun. Our current situation is still somewhat difficult. Needless to say, the Immortal Kings are about to return; if my identity truly is an existence circulated out of the Gate of Eternal Life, then I am the key in the great tribulation, and all the experts will want to capture us. If the Lord of Qiankun unites with some fourteen-epoch experts, along with strong individuals of thirteen epochs of cultivation, we still wouldn't be able to resist. The most urgent task is to improve our cultivation; I must learn from Daoist Grandmist and go before the Gate of Eternal Life to comprehend everything."
With a single sentence, Fang Han laid bare the secrets of heaven, and also made a plan for his future cultivation.
"The situation is indeed dangerous, and I have already felt it. The Good Fortune Immortal King has even begun breaking through to escape the bindings of the Gate of Eternal Life, capable of transmitting his intent out from within." Fang Qingxue also felt the situation didn't permit optimism, but she shook her head: "That Gate of Eternal Life has already closed, shrouded in layers upon layers of dense fog, its true form unseen. Right now, even Immortal Kings cannot enter it, nor even approach it. Even if we comprehend the Great Destiny Technique, we cannot come into contact with it."
"Is that so? What a pity."
Fang Han had always wanted to see clearly what exactly the image of the Gate of Eternal Life was; his deductions could never compare to the actual thing.
Facing this great existence, whoever saw it with their own eyes would feel incomparably insignificant.
Even if Daoist Grandmist possessed the ambitious will to surpass the Gate of Eternal Life, he still felt he truly fell far, far short compared to this great existence.
"However, we can go cultivate in the Immortal King Battlefield. Fang Han, your current cultivation is deeper than mine, tempered step by step out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. We will cultivate together, striving to reach the cultivation of fifteen epochs, and then take advantage of the time before the Immortal Kings have returned to sweep through the heavens in one fell swoop! To make the best preparations to resist those Immortal Kings." Fang Qingxue also nodded.
"This is the best way. But first, I need to descend to the lower realm, eradicate the many experts of the Heavenly Instrument Mother Teachings, collect the Thirty-Three Heavens ancient characters, while simultaneously slaying the Lord of War, refining him, overturning the Heavenly Court, and then move the Yuan Realm up to the World Above Worlds." Fang Han had planned this long ago: "The cultivation opportunities in the World Above Worlds are too good; it can abruptly soar the sect's strength. At the same time, I must go slay Hua Tiandu, and snatch the Lord of Primordial's skeleton and the Three Lives Stone."
"Since that's the case, we shouldn't delay any further, let's leave together then." Fang Qingxue said.
"Qingxue, are the Lord of Heart Demons and the Lord of Red Abyss by your side, or what?" Fang Han suddenly asked.
He came to the World Above Worlds this time precisely to search for the Old Man of the Heart Demon and the Red Abyss Demon Venerable, but up until now, he hadn't seen a single trace of them, and amidst his calculations, there was no clue at all. He couldn't help but feel somewhat puzzled.
"I know where they are." A peculiar luster appeared on Fang Qingxue's face: "They were originally together with me, and we all entered the Immortal King Battlefield to cultivate. It's a pity that they received a message from the Lord of Primordial, so they entered the depths of the Immortal King Battlefield to cultivate a Primordial Demonic Technique, obtaining the skill the Lord of Primordial transmitted from the Gate of Eternal Life. Their cultivation is continuously growing, and I don't know what level they have cultivated to by now."
"What? The Lord of Primordial actually transmitted his intent out from within too?" This shock given to Fang Han was certainly no trivial matter. He had deduced that the Good Fortune Immortal King had transmitted intent out from within, but for even the Lord of Primordial to begin laying out his plans, that indicated the true great tribulation of heaven and earth was about to begin.
The destruction of this epoch was imminent.
The Lord of Primordial did not die. When he encountered the great tribulation back then, he merely left behind the Three Lives Stone and his skeleton; his true primal spirit entered the Gate of Eternal Life.
After all, the Lord of Primordial was acclaimed as the strongest Immortal King in history.
If the Old Man of the Heart Demon and the Red Abyss Demon Venerable received the Lord of Primordial's transmitted intent, they must have a mission. Fang Han couldn't help but feel it would be somewhat troublesome. After all, these two revered figures were his acquaintances, not enemies. If they adhered to the Lord of Primordial's will to deal with him in the future, then it really would be quite hard for him to strike them down.
"Let us go! Fang Han, to go see how your Epoch Sect is being managed." Fang Qingxue nodded, swiping her palm through the air. A long river of destiny measuring tens of thousands of zhang slashed apart the laws of the World Above Worlds. Immediately, the violent law chaos beneath the Heavenly Realm could be seen. However, at this moment, both of their cultivation bases were at fourteen epochs; they feared absolutely nothing. Wherever their bodies went, the laws there would begin to stabilize.
Just as simply as that, they entered the Heavenly Realm directly.
The moment he entered the Heavenly Realm, Fang Han visibly felt the pressure on himself lighten, and his connection to the Gate of Eternal Life slacken somewhat. In the World Above Worlds, he clearly felt profound oppression; that suffocating sensation had been quite frustrating.
Arriving in the Heavenly Realm, Fang Han looked at the eternal blazing sun, feeling as if with a reach of his hand he could extinguish the blazing sun. He couldn't help but nod: "The increase in my power is not just a little bit, but a whole lot. Yuan Realm! Appear quickly!"
With a movement of his palm, he saw it. His Yuan Realm was drifting in the eternal void, forever without a fixed abode, making one unable to lock onto its location.
The Yuan Realm had not encountered any attacks; instead, it was developing prosperously. It seemed someone else had broken through to the Heavenly Monarch boundary.
Fang Han and Fang Qingxue transformed into two streamers of light; with a swoosh, they crossed infinite spacetime and arrived before the Yuan Realm. A giant tree ascended, its roots, branches, and leaves plunging into the void, absorbing nutrients.
Upon sensing Fang Han's arrival, this World Tree immediately scattered its foliage, displaying an aura of affection, acting just like a dog or cat seeing its master, wagging its tail, exceedingly adorable.
Fang Han let out a sigh, "The power of this World Tree has recovered to about one-tenth. If it reached its pinnacle, it could fully rival an Immortal King. It's a pity that its origin was chopped too severely by the Holy King of Origin."
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh…"
Right at the instant the World Tree scattered apart, the many Heavenly Monarchs within the Yuan Realm all came out. Emperor Yu, Feng Baiyu, the Chaos Heavenly Monarch, Linglong, Mibao, Feng Yaoguang, Yan Shuitian, and even Baby Nebula, Nangong Shangxin, Long Xuan, Princess Hongyi, Jialan, the Little Fox Nishang, they all came out too. Heavenly Monarch auras actually rippled on their bodies.
Baby Nebula, Nangong Shangxin… these people had actually cultivated to become Heavenly Monarchs during the days Fang Han was absent.
In addition to them, the three great Voodoo Grandmasters also fiercely flew out from the deepest part of the Yuan Realm. Upon seeing Fang Han and Fang Qingxue, their expressions visibly shook: "Sect Master, your magic power has actually increased to such an extent?"
"Indeed. My cultivation has already reached the cultivation of fourteen epochs, and I have found the Electric Mother Heavenly Monarch. We both joined forces to fight a great battle with the Lord of Qiankun, and he could not do anything to me. Currently, my Epoch Sect, even in the World Above Worlds, is the number one great faction; the only ones to fear are Immortal Kings." Fang Han flicked his finger. Looking at Baby Nebula and the others, he felt extremely gratified. With so many people having cultivated to become Heavenly Monarchs, they could accompany him into the next epoch, not vanishing before the great tribulation of heaven and earth arrived.
"Electric Mother Heavenly Monarch, I've long looked forward to meeting you…" Looking at Fang Qingxue, Linglong's expression was somewhat complicated, as she stepped forward to bow slightly.
"Linglong, Daoist Grandmist's successor, and also the reincarnation of Daoist Grandmist's daughter. Daughter of Grandmist, before your reincarnation, we crossed paths once. Soon, you will be able to receive the intent your father transmits from within the Gate of Eternal Life." Fang Qingxue also nodded and smiled in return: "At that time, your cultivation will grow to an inconceivable realm."
"Hm? I am the reincarnation of Daoist Grandmist's daughter?" Linglong was shocked; she had not yet comprehended her own past life, yet unexpectedly, Fang Qingxue instantly broke the mystery of her identity.
"Feng Baiyu, long time no see. When I was in the Yuhua Sect, I received your protection, I couldn't imagine you are the reincarnation of the Shakya Heavenly Monarch."
"Chaos Heavenly Monarch, we haven't seen each other in a long time. I still remember the friendship from that day in the Heavenly Court clearly."
Fang Qingxue greeted the numerous people one by one.
"Electric Mother Heavenly Monarch, you are finally close to restoring your magic power. Pity that you haven't reached your peak period from back in the day, when you could contend with Immortal Kings." The Chaos Heavenly Monarch said plainly, but his tone held a myriad of emotions, his eyes hazy like smoke and clouds: "However, you should know by now what sort of great existence Fang Han is, the one you brought out from the Gate of Eternal Life?"
"What? Fang Han is something birthed from out of the Gate of Eternal Life?" Many people were utterly shocked; they completely never expected that Fang Han actually possessed such an identity.
"I don't remember either. I haven't recovered that deepest, most critical segment of memory. It seems that during my great battle with the Good Fortune Immortal King back then, I lost this section of memory. Back then, the Good Fortune Immortal King ordered me to deal with him, I was unwilling, thereby triggering the great battle…" Fang Qingxue shook her head, gritting her teeth.
